Industrial control specialist Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL) has become a global reseller and certifier for IoT security specialist Nozomi Networks. The partnership will help enhance visibility of network assets and traffic, and threat detection for utility and industrial control systems
Companies face increasing regulation requirements around cybersecurity, including NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIST Risk Management Framework, and the SOCI Act. These increasingly demand improved internal network security monitoring to ensure the cybersecurity of local area networks. Nozomi Networks solutions are designed to address these critical requirements by making it easy to monitor networks and meet compliance reporting rules.
SEL OT-Software-Defined Networks (SDN) is designed for environments where unauthorized devices and traffic should be denied by default. Integrating a centralized application like Nozomi Networks Vantage cloud-hosted security platform gives customers control over traffic flows, eliminates the need for traffic taps or aggregators, and enables more efficient data aggregation.
“Customers depend on SEL to deliver secure solutions and Nozomi Networks’ AI-powered platform helps us achieve this,” said Will Edwards, Head of Cyber Services at SEL. “By giving customers an easy option to integrate the Nozomi Networks platform into SEL Software-Defined Networks, customers have access to advanced solutions designed to strengthen the reliability and availability of their services and help them more easily address a rising sea of regulatory and compliance requirements.”
“For more than four decades, SEL has been making electric power safer, more reliable, and more economical worldwide,” said Chet Namboodri, Nozomi Networks Senior Vice President of Global Business Development. “We share SEL’s mission and are pleased to combine our strengths to ensure that future generations have the means to pursue an increasingly higher quality of life.”
